Stamps
Posted under Thoughts by adminDo you ever feel like you have a box of rubber stamps that you pull out every once in a while to stamp something on your forehead? I am sure you know what I mean. You are asked to be on a committee and you agree without ever really finding out what is entailed. Once you get involved, you realize that you must have had “Sucker” stamped on your forehead. I think we have many stamps and they aren’t always bad. Our foreheads might read “Compassionate”, “Grouchy”, “Loving”, “Looking For A Fight” or “Willing”. We need to be aware of what we are projecting to people so that we can either rein it in or be sure to use our boundaries. We don’t want to cause undue friction or get ourselves into a situation we resent by allowing people to overstep our boundaries. Whew! Life can be hard to negotiate sometimes but in the end it is worth all the effort.
